A friend of mine has finally left her very abusive relationship. Even though he never physically harmed her, but he was such a narcissist. Poor girl was left with literally no confidence and no friends or life outside marriage, Finally she met another man (a colleague) who has helped her make this decision of leaving her husband.
She is staying with me for a while now, till her divorce gets final. The problem is that she keeps crying that she could not sustain her relationship. i mean, why is she feeling guilty of coming out a relationship with that monster!!!
I am actually feeling angry with her. He treated her like a doormat through 5 years, and now also she is letting him ruin her life.
I just cannot understand this.

How do I know if it’s time to seek professional help for depression?

It can be challenging to recognize when it is time to consider going to a therapist for depression. However, here are some signs that may indicate it is time to seek professional help:

1. Feelings of sadness : If you are experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness that persist for more than two weeks, it may be time to consider seeing a therapist. These feelings can be a symptom of depression, and a qualified mental health professional can help you to manage and work through them.

2. Loss of interest : If you have lost interest in activities or hobbies that you once enjoyed, it may be a sign of depression. Deborah Beriro, a therapist in Palm Beach Gardens, can help you to identify the reasons behind your loss of interest, and work with you to develop strategies to regain your enjoyment of life.

3. Changes in appetite or sleep patterns : Depression can cause changes in appetite or sleep patterns. If you are experiencing significant changes in your eating or sleeping habits, it may be time to consider seeking the help of a therapist.

4. Difficulty concentrating : Depression can make it difficult to concentrate or focus on tasks. If you are experiencing difficulty with concentration, it may be a sign of depression, and a therapist can help you to develop strategies to improve your focus.

5. Thoughts of self – harm : If you are experiencing thoughts of self – harm or suicide, it is important to seek help immediately. A qualified mental health professional can provide the support and guidance you need to stay safe and work towards healing.
In case you are experiencing any of these symptoms or are struggling with depression or other mental health issues, it may be time to consider seeking the help of a therapist. A qualified mental health professional can provide the support and guidance you need to manage your symptoms and work towards a better life.

Broken from inside after 11 long years of one-sided love and sacrifice, and today I find that he is going out with a colleague from work. He hasn’t ever said he loved me, never initiated physical relationship, never taken me out unless I forced him. We don’t have children because he said he didn’t want any.
Today, don’t know what took me to look at his phone while he was in shower. 100s of lovey dovey messages, number of baby shona voice notes. I locked the phone before he came out and we’re both in office now. But I don’t want to go back tonight. I don’t know how I will face him.
He has never talked to me this way.
I am lost, what should I do?

    Absolutely, a divorcee can find love again. Let me share a story that might resonate with you and your friend. I have a friend named Reena who went through a painful divorce after being in an abusive marriage. She however, was a romantic by heart and believed that she is yet to meet her ‘one’.

    After taking some time alone, Reena decided to dip her toes back into the dating world. However, she encountered several disappointing experiences where men seemed more interested in casual flings rather than genuine commitment. It left her feeling discouraged and skeptical about her chances of finding love again.

    But Reena didn’t give up. She knew deep down that she deserved a loving and fulfilling relationship. She made a conscious decision to prioritize her own happiness and well-being above words of others.

    At one such meet, she finally met Nikhil, who had also been through a challenging divorce himself. They bonded over their shared experiences and their desire for a loving, committed relationship. As they got to know each other better, they realized that their past divorces had taught them valuable lessons and made them appreciate the importance of trust, respect, and open communication in a partnership. They have been happily married since more than 2 years now, proving that finding love after divorce is indeed possible.

    Remember, everyone’s journey is unique, and love can be found at any stage of life.

    Dear Riya, now that your kids have left home, there is literally  nothing to keep you in that house! why dont you think of leaving him? why not spend the rest of your life in peace instead of constant fear of this person who is so toxic?

    • I’d really suggest talking this out with him. Come to a compromise from both sides, because wearing make up all the time is of course not feasible, neither is it good for your skin. But making him feel important in your life is also necessary. Try and talk in depth, you both will definitely be able to work a middle way out.

    But your comfort is important. You can meet him in public places, with a friend with you if required. Some casual catch ups would give you a chance to know who you are marrying, and would improve your relationship, I believe.

    Yes because it seems you and this individual made a choice to keep in contact and be physical with each other knowing darn well you are both married to other people.

    Yes because it seems you and this individual made a choice to keep in contact and be physical with each other knowing darn well you are both married to other people. You are setting yourself and the other person up for failure and that’s not real love. If you truly believed this person was your soulmate, you would have tied the knot (got married to them) with them and not some other individual (your also setting up your current wife to be extremely hurt) so I have to believe your “soulmate” idea might be one sided. But if that’s the case, why would you want someone who is more than likely being unfaithful to not only you, her current husband but probably others your not aware of.
